PT begins search for new athletic director

Pine Tree is seeking input to build a profile for the new Athletic Director/Head Football Coach for the Pine Tree Pirates. The search for a new Athletic Director to lead Pine Tree ISD athletics will involve staff and public input.

Staff meetings begin this week in the district, and two public meetings are scheduled in the Community Center Room, at the PT Central Administration, 1701 Pine Tree Road in Longview, Texas.

Wednesday, December 4 12:00-12:45 pm

Wednesday, December 4 6:30 pm-7:15 pm

Mr. James Skeeler, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources, will serve as facilitator.

“The purpose of the meetings is to gather feedback and learn what traits our staff and our community would like to see in an Athletic Director for PTISD,” he said.

A survey is also available for staff and community to communicate either with an online survey or in hard copy. After the meetings are completed and the survey closes on December 13th, a summary of the feedback will be compiled for use during the interview process.
